GFS2: Pre-pull patch posting (fixes)
Hi, Here are a couple of patches which between them fix a problem where occasionally it was possible for the GFS2 module to be unloaded before all the glocks were deallocated, which, needless to say, made the slab allocator unhappy, Steve. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-... 4 Feb 2010 05:34
